This statement describes the information that the Service collects and how that information may be used by us. This statement does not apply to information we collect through any means other than the Service, actions that you may take as a user to share your information or to information collected on any other Company or third-party site that may link to or be accessible from the Service.

If you are accessing the Service from outside the U.S., you agree that your personal information may be transferred to the U.S. or another country, which may have different privacy and data security protections than those of your own jurisdiction, to be processed and stored. We may transfer your data to countries or organizations that have not been found by the European Commission to provide adequate protection, including the United States. For any such transfers initiated by Company, Company takes necessary measures to ensure that your personal information is subject to the required adequate level of protection (including, for example, through use of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission). You expressly consent to your personal information being used as set out in this paragraph.

 

This privacy statement does not apply to any travel supplier, such as an airline, car rental company or hotel.  This privacy statement does not apply to any individual traveler’s employer or travel agency that obtains any related services from TripCase. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of your travel agency and of relevant travel suppliers.

 

This privacy statement does not apply to information which does not permit identification of an individual. You may choose not to provide certain information to us but doing so may restrict your ability to use our Services.

In addition to the sharing of your personal information as described above, we also may disclose personal information we collect as follows: 

 

·      To comply with law (including cooperation with regulators or officials), legal process or legal advice;

·      In the event of merger, acquisition, or any form of corporate reorganization or sale of some or all of the Company’s assets, to whom we may transfer information, including personal information.

User Sharing via TripCase

 

TripCase allows you, as a user, to take actions to share information regarding your trip with other TripCase users, your mobile phone contacts, or via various social networking sites (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram). The sharing process enables you to share a particular item of content, on an individual basis, to these third-party services or other TripCase users by using the share functionality in the Service. Please note that sharing of such content on a third-party service may be posted as activity on the Service, regardless of your account settings. To share an individual item of content to a third-party service, you’ll be prompted to enter your access credentials for that third-party service. TripCase may store your name, e-mail address, and an access token or similar credentials obtained from the third-party service so that you are able to share particular items of content on that third-party service, on an individual basis, without entering your access credentials again.

 

When you choose to allow others to follow your trip by allowing access to your contacts via your mobile phone, those chosen will be notified of your trip via e-mail and given the chance to set up their own TripCase account, if they do not already have one of their own. Once they have set up their account, your trip will show up in that user’s “Following” section on TripCase. Anyone who is following your trip will be able to see any changes to your itinerary (such as if your flight is delayed, etc.). If you choose to always share with another TripCase user, they will be notified of every trip and its details until you remove them from that feature.

 

If you connect to the Service using credentials of a third-party Social Networking Site (“SNS”) such as Facebook or Twitter, you authorize us to collect your authentication information, such as your name, e-mail address, and encrypted access credentials. We may store this information so that it can be used for the purposes explained in this statement, and it may also be used to verify your credentials with the SNS. The information available to TripCase from an SNS is affected by the privacy settings you establish at the SNS. You understand and agree that an SNS’s use of information they collect from you is governed by their privacy policies, and TripCase’s use of such information is governed by this privacy statement.

 

If you connect to any third-party site other than an SNS using the credentials of your TripCase account for data sharing with that third party, you authorize the collection of your authentication information, such as your name, e-mail address, and encrypted access credentials, as well as any other personal information that third party site may choose to access. You do so at your own risk and understand and agree that the third party’s collection of such information is governed by their privacy policies, and TripCase’s use of such information is governed by this privacy statement.

 

 

Cookies and Other Technologies for Use of the Services

 

The TripCase website, mobile application, email messages, and advertisements may use cookies and other similar technologies, such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies permit us and others to monitor online behavior and collect data about the viewing of that page. Other versions of these technologies may also collect information regarding your internet protocol address and type of browser, the type of operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the web pages you have visited, location information, and the type of mobile device and provider used to utilize the Service, as well as the advertisements and tools you may have accessed via TripCase. Access to the information available through these technologies may also be provided to our third party providers, agencies and partners through these technologies, and has been provided to these third party providers within the preceding 12 months for business purposes. These technologies help us to improve and to deliver a better and more personalized service by enabling us to:

 

·      Estimate our audience size and usage patterns;

·      Store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize the Service according to your individual interests;

·      Speed up your searches; and

·      Recognize you when you return to the Service’s online website.

 

You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the appropriate settings on your browser. Check your browser help documentation to find out how to disable cookies. For further details about how we utilize cookies and how to deactivate cookies, please see our Cookies Page. Please note that certain features of the Service will not be available once cookies are disabled. We and others may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different Web sites. We currently do not respond to “do not track” browser headers with respect to the Service.

 

Besides Cookies, we may use other technologies, such as web logs, scripts, or other applications that recognize your computer and gather information, such as your internet protocol address and type of browser, the type of operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the TripCase web pages you have visited, and the type of mobile device and provider used to utilize the Service. We may use this information to manage our websites and online services, including to provide you appropriate and better service. We and others may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different Web sites.

 

 

 

Online Behavioral Advertising

 

We, our third-party service providers, agencies, and partners may also use cookies, pixels, web beacons and other technologies to collect various types of information for purpose of online behavioral advertising. A representative list of the types of information collected may include the following: trip start and end dates, airline departure and return dates, booking date, origin and destination, class of airline service, hotel check-in and check-out dates, hotel name, hotel city, hotel country, car rental company and dates, and similar information.

 

You may be able to remove yourself from the targeted advertising of companies within the Network Advertising Initiative by opting out here, or of companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance program by opting out here. Note that you will still receive advertising even after opting-out but such advertising may be less targeted to your interests and preferences.

 

Accessing Your Personal Information

 

You may access, correct or delete your contact information and preferences through your TripCase account. For other personal information, when TripCase is the controller of the data and receives it directly from you, rather than from your employer or another company, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access so you can request that we correct the data if it is inaccurate or delete the data if the Company is not required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes. If you receive TripCase services through your employer or from another company, you will need to contact the company which is the controller of your data with such a request. In such a case, TripCase would be the processor of the data on behalf of that company, who is the controller, and TripCase would follow the instructions of the controller. We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law.

 

Data Security

 

We have implemented reasonable measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure.

 

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Any content, including personal information, that you contribute to be shared, published or displayed on the Service, or transmitted to other users of the Service, either via the Service or via social networking or other third party sites available through the Service, is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Service. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of your content, including personal information, that you contribute to be shared, published or displayed on the Service, or transmitted to other users of the Service, may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or might have been copied or stored by other users. Although we take efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the Service. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

 

Children’s Privacy

 

The Service is not intended for children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under age 16 without verifiable parental consent. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 16 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that personal information as soon as possible and to not use such information for any purpose (except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or others as required or allowed by law). If you become aware of any personally identifiable information we have collected from children under 16, please email us at TripCasePrivacy@sabre.com

 

 

Minors under 18 years of age may have the personal information that they provide to us deleted by sending an email to TripCasePrivacy@sabre.com requesting deletion.  Please note that, while we make reasonable efforts to comply with such requests, deletion of your personal information does not ensure complete and comprehensive removal of that data from all systems.
